We had a great time here for sping break. Everything was exactly as described in the listing. We enjoyed fishing off the back dock, bike rides to Sunset Park, and the easy access that Key Colony Beach provides to the Keys. Communication was great and seamless with the host. We'd be happy to stay here again in the future!

Ralph was an amazing host and ensured we had the best stay possible. He went out of his way to provide us with tips on things to do and was very responsive in general. The duplex itself is an ideal spot for those with a boat, right on the water with a dock in the backyard. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy the keys!

Wonderful
We loved our two week stay at this house! We wanted to stay even longer. The house is perfect if you like relaxing vacations and especially if you have a boat to use during the day. We brought our 22’ boat and toured around the islands almost every day. Just really great all around!

Place is really nice. Very clean and the owner was great with correspondence
The only thing that was a bit of inconvenience was the one shower did not have a curtain.

Great Vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Key Colony Beach and at Ralph’s place. The location was great, we enjoyed having our boat right out back and our puppy truly enjoyed the yard. The house felt roomy and comfortable. It was nice to have Cabana Club access too. Communications were great overall. We would definitely stay here again!

Off the main drag, Very quiet neighborhood. Good space inside in terms of closets, etc. Kitchen could use cooking utensils. Also, would have liked toilet paper, paper towels and trash liners.

Perfect vacation home!
Everything about this home was perfect! The rooms were spacious and comfortable and being right on the water made for wonderful mornings in the sun, sipping coffee and relaxing. There are fishing poles to use and my son and husband used them for hours (frozen shrimp did the trick to catch a variety of things). The home was very quiet-never heard our neighbors.
The owner responded very quickly to any questions I had. Being able to use the Cabana Club was a bonus and we spent a day there lounging on the beach. I would rent this again if ever in the area.

It Doesn't Get Better Than This!
This is our second time to stay in Key Colony, and the first time in this property. We loved how easy it was to zip in and out of the neighborhood from this location. We had everything we needed indoors and out. Could be the best vrbo bed we've slept on, and we've slept on a lot of them! We were worried at first that noise from the Causeway would be an issue. It wasn't - didn't hear it at all from either the inside of the house or the back yard. You can't beat starting you day off watching the sunrise from the back porch. Magical!

Paradise on the bay
This duplex was the perfect location as our base camp for exploring the keys. It's located on a bay instead of the narrow canal views that many homes in the area have. Sunrise is amazing from the covered back porch or on the dock. We saw dolphins and manatees from the dock as well. The beds were comfortable and having two full bathrooms was perfect. We also enjoyed using the fishing poles at the house to fish from the dock. The internet was quick, Netflix was on the TV to use, and a starter pack of paper goods was provided. There are multiple restaurants in walking distance, or use the two bikes at the house. We'll definitely be back!!

Relaxing & Nice but Lacking
We visit Key Colony often and were super excited to find this home with great amenities such as the small fenced in yard for our pups and access to the Cabana Club. It was mostly a great experience but definitely some touches that need to be improved. For instance, the outdoor ice machine doesn’t work (the neighbors were planning on using and were disappointed). Only the TV in the living room worked, the one in the guest room had a poor quality, pixelated screen and we couldn’t get the one in the master bedroom to work at all. It wasn’t even plugged in when we arrived, when I did plug it in, it seemed to cause some other electrical issues. It was a bit taxing to have to remember a 10 digit code for entry into the home all the time, would be nice to have a shorter code. Shower in master doesn’t have curtain so there’s a fair amount of water that splashes out into the small bathroom. The toaster took a good 10 minutes to lightly toast bread. We couldn’t use the oven as it seemed turning it on caused the fire alarm to chirp or go off even before the oven was up to temperature. Walls are rather think between the duplexes so we had the joy of hearing our neighbors movies every night til around midnight. Not sure if it was thin walls or their TV up loud or a combo but just something to be aware of. The vacuum cleaner had zero suction, even after cleaning out the clumps of fur and what looked like leaves from the backyard we still weren’t able to use it to clean the property.

Clean & a perfect location
This property was adorable, everything as stated online was accurate. The 2 bathrooms were so modern and bright. The place was immaculate, comfortable and well stocked for all your needs. The ice machine was a huge bonus as you need plenty of ice for daily fishing excursions. I would highly recommend this property and most definitely consider it again for next year if we decide to go back to Marathon.

Perfect location.
This rental was perfect. The location was great. It was close to all the good restaurants. It was also down the road from a boat rental and bait shop, making it so easy to rent a boat conveniently and fish. It was so nice to have the dock in the back yard making it so nice to fish and see some manatees. The fence in the back yard made it super dog friendly. The property was so clean and maintained and bed was comfy. I would highly recommend this place to enjoy the keys.

Great home and location
The house and host are top notch. The wind and sea grass was the only slight issue. Kids caught plenty of fish from the dock. Neighbors are great as well. We will be back for sure. I almost don’t want to tell everyone how awesome this place is so it’s available to rent again in the future.

Lovely Location
My husband and I stayed here with friends for a week. This location had beautiful sunrises and is also a short bike ride from great restaurants. It was a very comfortable home and tastefully decorated. The owner was just a text/phone call away if we needed anything. We would love to stay here again!

Awesome getaway!
We really enjoyed our time in the Keys! Since this house is waterfront, the breezes are constant and great. Great view, awesome yard for our dog to run around in. We enjoyed sitting on the porch while he ran around. Really quiet on the inside, couldn’t hear the busy road at all! House has pretty much everything we needed. Owner was super responsive!
